It finally happened... A Sonic RPG?

I think the problem with Sonic IS the fast pace.
With Mario going 3-D was not as hard since Mario focuses on Jump length and exploration as a 2-D Platformer- it did pretty well for 3-D.
..
But with Sonic- The 2-D was about SPEED and seeing ahead on your screen and modifying your one jump to time it.
I mean Sure I can move fast in 3-D but whatelse?
Sonic really just needs something more to make it better than a Gunless FPS.
...
And SO FAR in MY opinion he has yet to do anything decent since 3-D.
Mario 64 And Mario Galaxies are just brilliant though. (I like Sunshine too- Just not for the Mario aspect)
....
As for a Sonic RPG- if it wants to rival Mario RPG (which I doubt) it will have to bring some cool stuff to teh RPG table - Timed attacks+++

Um...

Sonic's handheld games are a lot better. Especially the 2.5D ones. That's why they're going with something semi-2.5D for the next one. I just wish they'd bite the bullet and go FULL 2.5D with NO 3D at all. Just imagine playing one of the Genesis Sonic games, except with 3-D models instead of sprites. That would be amazing.

But that's not what they want. They want gimmicks. RPGs, swordplay, werewolf transformations. They figure out to drop the crazy cast of friends that were causing problems, then immediately jump on multiple other tracks toward failure.
